    Recently I had the privilege to work in several projects with Lendell. His unquestionable passion complements any piece of music he is around, his talent and good taste are remarkable, and every time I work with him he surprises me with outstanding arranging and discipline. What an asset to have him on my speed dial. I'm a very lucky MoogZzter.

    There I was at the debut of Nathan East’s first album at the Belcourt Theatre In Nashville, and I hear these beautiful string arrangements coming through the speakers. They were the work of Lendell Black. He was announced and acknowledged, he stood up. After the event, I followed him out to his car. Yes, I stalked him. Since then, he is my go to string arranger and he is an absolute joy to work with.
